Wayne Gallman A Solid Start Against Bengals
Wayne Gallman has seen his role in the offense expand in recent weeks and should be considered a must-start running back for fantasy in Week 12. Gallman is averaging 13.5 carries-per-game over his last four games including a season-high 18 carries last week. The fourth-year back found the end zone twice last week and has scored five touchdowns in his last four games overall. Gallman has a good chance to extend that streak this week in a game the Giants are favored against a Bengals team playing its first game since losing rookie sensation Joe Burrow (knee). Gallman has more upside in non-PPR formats, but his touch-floor is high enough to be considered a must-start RB2 in all fantasy leagues.

Wayne Gallman Signs With Seahawks
Wayne Gallman to their practice squad on Tuesday with rookie Kenneth Walker III (ankle) dealing with an ankle injury, according to a source. Gallman hasn't seen action in an NFL game this year despite being on the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad earlier this season. Seattle also has Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas and Tony Jones Jr. on the RB depth chart, but Homer (didn't play in Week 13) and Dallas are also banged up with injuries, so the Seahawks needed more depth at the position heading into their Week 14 clash against the Carolina Panthers. The 28-year-old Gallman could be active for the first time this weekend, depending on the health of the other RBs, but he won't be a realistic fantasy option.

Wayne Gallman Not Expected To Join Ravens
Wayne Gallman had a workout with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. The organization also had Corey Clement workout for the team. They eventually decided to sign Clement to a deal. He's expected to serve as depth in the crowded Ravens backfield. The fact that the Ravens signed Clement means that they will likely won't pursue Gallman. The 27-year-old had a limited role in the Atlanta Falcons backfield last season. Before that, Gallman saw success with the New York Giants during the 2020 campaign. Possibly, Gallman gets a chance with another organization before the season begins. Regardless, it's unlikely that Gallman or Clement will make an impact in fantasy football.

Wayne Gallman Claimed Off Waivers By Vikings
Alexander Mattison has been placed on the COVID-19 list. That means, Kene Nwangwu is the only available back behind Dalvin Cook. That being said, the Vikings decided to claim Wayne Gallman off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. This season, Gallman has 104 yards on 28 attempts, so there's not a ton of upside here. Fantasy managers should expect Cook to carry a bigger workload in Week 15. Gallman might see a few carries if active, but he's not worth rostering.

Wayne Gallman A Healthy Scratch Sunday
Wayne Gallman is a healthy scratch in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gallman will be the odd-man out with Qadree Ollison coming up once again from the practice squad to join the active roster. He's been mostly the third running back in 2021 behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, carrying the ball only 28 times for 104 yards (3.7 yards per carry) while catching one pass for 21 yards in six games played. Ollison was featured as Atlanta's primary back two weeks ago in the blowout loss to the New England Patriots, but that occurred with Patterson sitting out due to an ankle injury. Ollison could see some work against the Buccaneers top-ranked rush defense, but it'll likely come at the expense of Davis.
